  • Thanks to scheduling, the last thing we should be concerned about right now is MSU. That game is nearly 6 weeks away. A lot of stuff can happen (good and bad) between now and then.

    • Their challenge will be to move the sticks. Ours won't be that. We can get chunks of yardage on 10-15 snaps against them. It's the turnovers. This is a game in which smart playaction could and should pay off. Don't let him throw too much. Call some sneaks. Tolerate a low YPC running game, and don't try to win it on every drive. Then hit them up at the right time with that playaction.

      • MSU will shut us out this year unless we get a TD on a return or our offense gets the ball inside their 40 yard line

        • Speaking of TDs on a return, are they ever going to open up a crack for Norfleet? He probably doesn't need it to be very large.

          • Norfleet is definitely a quick little buggar ... It'd be nice to see him break a few for TD's...

            • sounds like Delaney is looking at Ou/Ku for the next expansion. UNL is definitely on board.. but there will need to be some convincing of the University Presidents to accept OU

              • OU has a plan in place to achieve AAU membership, I think. Akin to FSU.

                Those would be very good additions for UNL and the conference. However, you know that if OU and KU come, Texas is on its way.

                • Kansas is 'fringe' academically on most metrics, other than AAU they are behind Nebraska. Oklahoma is far behind both...

                  They'll have to really sell 'athletics' for Oklahoma & Kansas which support for Kansas was a tough sell last time Kansas came on topic for realignment. One football king, one basketball king both with very healthy athletic departments; athletics I think they certainly 'pass' which leaves the debate only about academics, population/markets & demographics. It'd bounce Purdue to the East, which would help 'balance' the East-West balance leaving all Central time zone teams in the West, Eastern time zone in the East. I'd personally make a run at the Virginia & North Carolina markets, more markets, population & recruits in that area not to mention no question about their academics.

                  • Like talent said, Texas is the gold mine and getting any schools that help lures the Longhorns would be huge. I think Oklahoma though is the one following Texas wherever they go, not vice versa.

                    Texas is very much opposed to the SEC, even before A&M left to go there. Big XII supposedly is very much in debate over whether adding two schools to get to 12, Division 4 a CCG/12-teams is a requirement. If they were to add two it would be among Cincy, UCF, USF, Houston, etc.

                    Comment


                    • Yeah, the B12's problem is that they can't get to a CCG w/o total shit additions. In retrospect, they really should have moved on Louisville. That's not a great addition, but it's far better than what's out there, and Louisville was begging for an invite.

                      If they added OU and KU and stopped at 16, I'd consider that a win. However, those two schools really don't seem like "stopping" schools. I can't see OU and KU w/o Texas. Can't see it. If those 3 were on-board, then they'd push for 20. Meh.

                          I can easily see Texas going Indy.

                          • Realignment is certainly not over (though we might have a pause for the current GOR), Hannibal, so I'd learn to get used to it. Big XII & ACC are prey to the predators: SEC, B10 & Pac 12. Both the ACC & Big XII have very valuable programs that the SEC, B10 & Pac 12 desire.

                            • The OU/KU rumor is much more likely than any ACC team
